In Katowice, Poland, last week and this, there was a gathering of 22,000 bureaucrats and functionaries. (You know, the one French President Macron hastily abandoned to deal with Yellow Vest rioting in Paris.) Their mission? To sound the alarm on the evil of fossil fuels and the need to transition to clean energy. The lead […]

Progressives Turn Their Guns on the Supreme Court
At The Federalist, Ryan Fazio explains how the Supreme Court, now solidly in conservative hands, is the arbiter constitutional interpretation. The political left is attacking the court’s legitimacy because it has no other avenue to do so. Fazio warns though that one “ill-advised alteration” to the constitution could upend everything. He writes (abridged): Concerted opposition […]
It is Time for New York to Split in Two
The people of upstate New York have had enough of New York City setting their policies for them. The farmers and small business owners of the Finger Lakes, Hudson Valley, Adirondacks, Western New York, the Capital District, the North Country, and the Southern Tier have little to nothing in common with their fellow citizens in […]
Europe is Openly Fleeing from Diversity
Pat Bucahan asks what American democracy has to offer the world besides the “diversity” that Europe is currently rejecting wholesale. Certainly attempts at democratizing the Middle East have not gone well, as Pat explains. He writes at The American Conservative (abridged): What does American democracy now offer the world as its foremost attribute, its claim […]
Looting, Vandalizing, Torching Get Political Results?
The real tragedy with the rioting in France is that President Macron could have avoided the wrath of the Yellow Vests. Macron, as promised while campaigning, did cut taxes, reform labor laws, and face down the national railroad unions.

Red Flag: SWAT Team Confiscates Your Guns
You have a natural born right to self-defense. The Second Amendment guarantees it. But as we move into 2019, gun control advocates at both the state and federal level are coming for your guns. Are you familiar with a “red flag” order? “Every state has a slight variation in standards, but in general these confiscation […]
How Can You Spot a Loser in Investing?
Back in July 1994, I wrote: You Has It or You Don’t. Dressed in snakeskin, feathers, grease paint and radiant colors, New Orleans gris-gris musician, Dr. John, delivers his musical message. Funky, gumbo-tinged rhythms spiced with a Bayou flavor makes for a perennial Mardi Gras atmosphere when delivered by Crescent City favorites like Jessie Hill, […]
James Comey an “Unethical FBI Director?”
At The American Spectator, George Neumayr explains how former FBI Director James Comey “managed not to know anything about the FBI’s most important case from the summer of 2016.” He writes (abridged): Drunk on his own self-deluded rectitude, James Comey has become one of the most insufferable voices on the Left. He teaches “ethics” at […]
